Shredded chicken taco salad loaded with lettuce, black beans, grilled corn, avocado, tomatoes and bell peppers. Topped with a creamy salsa ranch dressing. Simple, flavorful and delicious!
Optional for serving: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lime, cheese, tortilla strips (or crushed tortilla chips), chopped cilantro, sliced green or red onions
Instructions
Make the salsa ranch cream by whisking together the ranch, salsa, lime juice, salt and pepper.
Layer the lettuce in a big bowl or individual bowls. Then add the chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado and bell pepper. Top with some chopped cilantro and tortilla strips if preferred.
Drizzle the salsa ranch on top.
Notes
Spicy chicken: If you'd like to spice up the chicken, feel free to mix with 1 Tablespoon of taco seasoning or 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and cumin powder. You can also mix the chicken together with 1/2 cup salsa.Dressing substitutions: Swap ranch with Greek yogurt to make a lighter dressing. If you don't have ranch on hand, you could use mayo instead. I also love using this cilantro lime ranch on top of this taco salad.
